[ He's still trying to catch his breath, looking up at Peter with wide eyes ]

What the hell was that thing?

[nostalgiabomb]

[ Okay, good. At least Charlie is talking, but Peter's still checking him over for injuries. ]

A suban. They're like-- these giant naked mole-rat-dog things.

And their bites are toxic. Make you lose consciousness within a couple minutes. Did it bite you?

No. No it didn't. Used its collar to keep it off me.

[ He pulls himself up to a sit ]

I found this back there, though. [ he holds up the scrap of fabric ]

[nostalgiabomb]

[ Peter only glances at it, then nods, standing and offering a hand to Charlie to do the same. ]

C'mon. Need to get moving if we're ever gonna find your girl.

[ He takes it, hauling himself to his feet ]

And your jacket.

And the shit we're supposed to get paid for, yeah, yeah.

[ He heads off in the the only really viable direction. ]

This is why I like smash and grabs better.

I did enjoy the dancing, though.

[nostalgiabomb]

[ Peter shrugs, keeping his eyes peeled for the woman. ]

We can dance anyplace, man.

I guess that's true. [ He laughs a little.

Up ahead, there's the sound of more growling- looks like suban number two has something caught in a tree, given the way it's circling around, making the occasional jump. ]

... Still got that shovel?

[nostalgiabomb]

[ He does, in fact, have it resting on his shoulder. ]

You wanna do the honors this time, Houdini?
